Some Critical Reasons To Have Your Connecticut Water Tested As Soon As Possible

Many homeowners dont realize that the suggested water testing is once a year. Since there is no mandatory regulations in place, it is up to the homeowner to schedule and maintain these tests on their own. So how and why is it so important to have water tested annually?

First off, many hidden dangers and elements in water can come as a huge surprise considering many dont have warning signs. You could be drinking water that is contaminated and not know it. While we always encourage yearly testing, here is more of a reason to get household water tested:

someone in your household is pregnant or nursing

there are unexplained illnesses in the family

your neighbors find a dangerous contaminant in their water

you note a change in water taste, odor, color or clarity

there is a spill of chemicals or fuels into or near your well

when you replace or repair any part of your well system

In addition to the situations where testing is advised to do so more frequently, you can do your own inspection as well for possible contaminants just by understanding your surrounding area.

is there livestock close by?

are pesticides being used on nearby agricultural?

do you use lawn fertilizers near the well?

is the well located near a road that is frequently salted or sprayed with de-icers during winter months?
